It must be a Puerto Rican thing but I saw some really strange things there. So, sucky picture aside, what's wrong with it?
Nothing a magic marker wouldn't fix.

Snowmobile? That I gotta see!
Not much gets past you does it, Douglass??? I just thought it was an odd combination since 55-60 is cold on the island.
And, wonder of wonders, there wasn't a snowmobile in sight!

I wonder how they run on sand?
Oddly enough, it would probably work for a little while, Until the grit tore up something that sand was never intended to be in.

Which is why "That I gotta see!".
I bet whom ever made the sign was suppose to put a jet ski on it, not a snow machine. Unless it's a jet ski with runners.

The sign also shows "no men or women allowed," though I think it really means no WC.
I think the graphic designer (or humble typesetter) who laid out the sign didn't have an icon for "jet ski" or might have thought that the icon they used WAS (or would pass for) a jet ski.

That was the reason for my off-the-wall comment about the magic marker. If the ski in front and the tread looking thing in the back were modified with a brown-ish marker, it would look a lot more like a jet ski.
This is inconsequential compared to such things as a Police Officer just outside of Ceyba wearing stiletto heels and a mini-skirt or the fact that their driver education system needs a major overhaul. We were only there for 4 days and twice we watched a car slow down at a red light just long enough to see if anyone was coming through the intersection and then just blaze on through on the right side of the fog line. Speed limits seemed to be somewhat of a guideline as well.
Oh, if you ever go to Puerto Rico, take a GPS equipped phone or get one with your rental car, their maps suck.
Look more closely at the wavy line below the machine. It's a jet ski.

Well, they rode a sled in the Olympics.

Thank you all for stopping by and rather that filling space with individual replies I will say this:
Selkii - I think you nailed the idea of the Water Closet, there were none that I saw.
H.T. - The lack of a proper icon is probably correct but they aren't the only island in the world and being a U.S. Territory, one would think that a phone call to the right person would get something that actually looked like a Jet Ski.
Hoghead - Being in possession of the original, I zoomed it in until the icon was so pixelated that it was ugly. The only things with wavy underneath are the swimmer and boat icons.
Old Grey Beard - You get the prize for the craziest yet still not out of the realm of possibility answer.
UP-2-IT - I missed the Olympics this year, what kind of sled were the Puerto Rican folks on? Bob, dog and Louge type need white and wet stuff. Hmmm.
